Let's re-hash this, now that the people attempting to convert me have had their fantasy caved in by my calling them out and explaining the depth of criminal liability that they would face if it was to be proven that a significant portion of Wellington's elite deliberately attempted to make me detransition by hijacking my porn feed.

You never said I couldn't wear dresses and skirts, and I thought that my fashion was well in keeping with the style of all the RNZ employees. I was the token gay kid, and hence my fashion sense was rather different to all those older, cisgender blokes. Not that I'm gay, in case any of the dudes thought I was into them. - If you were unhappy with my attire, I would have expected a meeting regarding that. Legally speaking, I wasn't a fixed-term or full-time employee, but I survived 90 days. I'm not coming back if 'you must wear pants' is part of the deal. Again, that's not fair, and could be considered actively discriminatory. Instead, let's all agree that communications could have been clearer, and that the public sector has a fair way to go when it comes to recognising gender diversity. I'm sick of being the token canary in the coal mine that gets mistreated, then everyone that comes after me gets a better deal. I want a better deal lol.
